Russell Grant announces brain cancer battle after undergoing operation

Russell Grant, 72, informed his 51,000 Twitter followers that an “A-Team” of doctors had removed a tumour from his brain in a major operation before Christmas.

The astrologer assured his fans that he is on the mend alongside a cheerful selfie wearing his beloved Wealdstone FC shirt.

He wrote: “Before Christmas I had a brain tumour removed by the A-Team Prof Pathmanban, Dr Bhalla, Dr Kearney, the caring nurses and Vicky Walsh of Alex Hospital Manchester and Dr Wilton YG Bangor.

“I’m now into recovery on [Brain Tumour Day]. Thank you all.”

He also added links to The Pituitary Foundation and Rare Disease Day, which was held on February 28.

Russell was inundated with support from his friends and fans. One user named Rebecca wrote: “Wishing you a speedy recovery Russell from a fellow #pituitary patient and proud ambassador of @Pituitary_org- they are amazing aren’t they?!”

He then responded that he didn’t inform The Pituitary Foundation because he “didn’t want a fuss”

The 72-year-old replied: “Tbh I didn’t tell them, I didn’t want a fuss as I’d already lost my mum.

“I dealt with it thanks to advice from my amazing friend [Russell Watson] my loved ones and @brain_op and his team.”
